The great sage is very tired

After a wild toss by several people, Ace was finally brought back to the palace of the elves, and placed flat on the bed in his own bedroom.Until then, everyone really breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ofield, do you really want to meet that... that, the high priest?" Jian Wei'an was a little uncertain, because although the high priest seemed very gentle, but thinking about it carefully, he could cheat again in the past 3000 years A person with a dead body, no matter how you think about it, you will feel that he is not a good person to get along with.

"It's okay, I have a sense of proportion." Aufield looked at the "worry" written all over the faces of the two little friends, and finally explained one more sentence: "I, I happen to know him, so nothing will happen."

After thinking about it, he decided to rectify his old friend's name: "Although he is a bit mischievous, he is a good elf with a kind heart, and he really won't do me any harm."

At this moment, Jian Wei'an and Lu Luni didn't want to delve into it too much. Since Orfield had made up his mind to go and had repeatedly assured that he would not be in any danger, it was really difficult for them to dissuade him.

After Orfield left, the two of them looked at each other for a moment, and then heaved a long sigh: "I always think it's unbelievable that Orfield actually knew the high priest of the elves 3000 years ago."

Jian Wei'an reassured her: "Aren't there few unbelievable things that happened to Orfield? Didn't your uncle and grandpa hit it off when they met him?" He sighed again, feeling like he was fucking for his little friend. Heartbroken: "Don't think so much. Call the dean first. If there is really a person to take care of the place, I guess it can only be the dean."

"It's already been fought." Lu Luni said, he was really worried about his uncle's lifelong event.It's just that what happened today was so sudden that she always felt that something was wrong.

"Eh? Wait... what did you just say?" Luluni felt as if a thought suddenly flashed through her.

"Call the dean?"

"One more sentence?"

Jian Wei'an felt a little baffled, but was affected by the anxious attitude of Luluni's sudden question, and instinctively felt that the matter was a bit serious, and he tentatively said, "Your uncle... and Orfield, did you hit it off right away?"

Luluni: "..."

Luluni muttered: "So, why does Orfield always have something to do with people who lived 3000 years ago?"

"Huh?" Jian Wei'an didn't respond: "What did you say?"

His uncle was inexplicably attracted to Orfield after just looking at the photo, and he even wanted to stay by his side even if he turned into a child... The elf high priest who suddenly appeared today was called a "friend" by Offield...Oufield The endlessly advanced magic in his hands and the speed of progressing against the sky... The sculpture that looks like him at the gate of the First Magic Academy...

Lu Luni covered her head and wailed: "What am I thinking, it's fake!! It's all fake!!!!"

Jian Wei'an was taken aback by Luluni's sudden howl: "What's fake? What are you thinking?"

Lu Luni said weakly: "It's okay...it's okay..."

There are some things that she can go to her uncle and grandpa to confirm in private.She glanced at her heartless little friend, and felt that it was an extremely absurd guess, it was better to just think about it for herself.

……

Orfield came to the holy land of the elves alone, which is also the most core place of the elves - where the tree of life and the fountain of life are located.

Although this is the holy place of the elves, it is not the forbidden place of the elves. The tree of life grows in the center of the forest. If it is not for the elves or the people recognized by the elves, it is impossible to pass through the forest and reach the center of life. where the tree grows.

Therefore, the forest is not strictly guarded by the elves, there are only a few patrolling forest guards, and they usually do not prevent their own people from making pilgrimages to the Tree of Life.

Offield is not an elf, but he is a distinguished guest invited by Prince Ace. If he directly asks to enter the forest, the elves will allow it, but they will send two people to follow him.

But today was really inconvenient. Apologetically, Offield cast an invisibility spell on himself. With his super mental strength, he sneaked around the elves patrolling the forest and entered the holy land of elves.

Aufield received the blessing of the Tree of Life 3000 years ago. At that time, he was a guest of the entire elves and helped the elves solve some problems. Therefore, although he was not an elves, he also Instead of getting lost in the forest, he could follow the guidance of the breath and successfully find the tree of life.

In the most central open space, the fountain of life containing the power of resurrection is like a mirror laid flat on the ground, without the slightest ripple. In the center of the spring, there is a towering tree, as if floating Like the surface of the water, it appeared there out of thin air.

In fact, there is a very small island under the tree, which supports the tree and makes it grow on the water of the fountain of life, so tall that it seems to hold up a world.

This is the tree of life - the holy tree of the elves, the source of life of the elves, and the entrance to the dusk where the gods are buried.

Orfield stood still for a moment, then raised his feet and walked towards the big tree in the middle of the water.

As he stepped on the water surface, ripples began to appear on the water surface, but apart from these ripples, the spring water was like a flat ground, supporting Oldfield who stepped directly on the water surface until he slowly stepped on the water surface. went under the tree.

"Ace?" Offield said softly, "I'm coming."

After such a toss, the sky has gradually dimmed, and night is coming.

The fireflies perched among the trees also began to slowly fly up and down around the big tree, like little stars, circling around the tree.

A figure suddenly appeared on the tree. The elf high priest who had always stood and sat appeared on the tree. He was on a lower branch relatively close to the ground at the moment, leaning his back The trunk of the big tree sat there lazily.The elf's light golden hair with slight curls hangs down naturally, and green hair ornaments in the shape of branches are dotted in the period.

The elf has fair skin, exquisite and handsome features, and a pair of light green eyes that seem to hide shallow blue waves, like a pool of water. When he stares at a person quietly, the person he looks at can't help but indulge in it. That water in the pool——the water in the pool is deep, gentle, and seems to have a few wisps of affection.

And now the high priest is staring at Offield, as if he wants to reflect his appearance in his heart.

"Speaking of which, when we first met, you were probably like this now—you were still a young boy who didn't grow up." Ace said suddenly.

In his previous life, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old when he met them, and he was just a young man who had not yet grown up.Although the current Offield is already old, but because his magical power has improved a lot faster than in his previous life, the speed of growth and aging will be slower. Now Offield, although he has grown in stature, he still looks like a Back then that little boy.

"When I knew you, you weren't so good at putting on airs." Offield smiled and hurt his old friend.

"Oh, there's no way, the priest is really not a job of an elf." Ace spread his hands and smiled.When they were in an adventurer team, Ace used to like to wear short and strong clothes, which were convenient for casting spells and archery, and for fast shuttles in the forest.However, sacrifice is a profession that requires a lot of attention to image.

So the later Ace basically wore white priest robes embroidered with gold, and his demeanor was too dignified.

It's the same as it is now, but it's different from now—Oufield hasn't seen such a shapeless Ace sitting on a tree for a long time.

The two of them were speechless for a moment, but one raised his head and smiled and the other lowered his brows and eyes, watching each other silently. Even if any of them made a move at this moment, they could easily hug their friends again, but neither of them made the first move .

What separated them was no longer distance, it was life and death, the cruelest and most unavoidable thing in the world.

"I've been waiting here, always wanting to say something to you." After a long time, it was Ace who broke the calm first. He had been waiting for this opportunity for too long. The words Field said finally became less difficult to speak under the barrier of life and death.

"I love you, Al," Ace said.

In order to say this confession, he has waited 3000 years.Since Orfield's sudden death, Ace's heart has been disturbed by this sentence every moment, every day and every night.

He used to think that what he was most afraid of hearing was rejection, so he didn't dare to think, dare not say, he was afraid that once some words were spoken, they would not even be friends—he thought he could bear the only relationship between the two of them. Being able to use the title of "friend" as a bond, he thought that as long as he could look at Offield from a distance, he would be happy.

He even imagined that when they were all old, on a sunny afternoon, he could lightly tell Orfield the secret he had hidden all his life.

—Al, you know, I love you, I've always loved you all my life.

After saying this, he will laugh, because he has finally completed the biggest and longest time-consuming prank in his life.

For this reason, he described the scene after they were all old countless times. In the dark and lonely night, he imagined the various reactions of Orfield after hearing this sentence, and then he was either elated or empty himself or wept silently.

After he received the report that Offield was seriously ill, he almost thought it was an extremely bad joke. While mocking his friends with no talent for mischief, he felt his limbs were cold, and even the hand that activated the teleportation array trembled. of.

Then Offield left—before they reacted, before they had the slightest preparation, they just lay on the bed so silently, and then gradually lost their breath.

His mind went blank then.

His chest seemed to be torn open by someone, and even breathing was painful, and their noses seemed to be lingering with the bloody smell all the time. Orfield looked very peaceful when he walked, and the bloody smell he smelled came from My own heart full of holes.

There is no Orr, no future, and no sunny afternoon... The scene he envisioned will never have a chance to be realized.

Facing the cold tombstone, he felt that even his own heart was buried under it.

Not reconciled... It turns out that the sadness of being rejected is far worse than the heart-wrenching pain of losing him.And when Orfield died, he didn't even know his mind at all, which made him obsessed even more.

Ace couldn't let it go until the day he died—he couldn't rest in peace.

He could not return to the arms of the elf god.

When he was alive, he studied so many ways to become a god, and studied so many ways to get Orfield back. He didn't know if his method could succeed, but whether it succeeded or not, it was not something he could see in his lifetime up.

So he worked hard and studied a forbidden technique of the elves. After he arranged everything, he sealed his remnant soul into the tree of life.

Since then, I have waited for 3000 years.

Finally, with the favor of fate, the person who has been remembered for 3000 years appeared in front of him again, just like the first time he met many years ago.

But this time, he won't back down and hesitate anymore, because he is not looking for a result at this moment, and they will have no result long after they are separated by life and death. He just wants to tell him—just to let him know that he loves him so deeply, It hasn't been changed for many years.

"I love you, Al."

The furthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death, but when I stand in front of you, but you don't know that I love you.
